Thanks for all your responses. But unfortunately i am not sure its still not working. Can you please go through the code below and let me know where i am doing wrong or if it needs any further modification. private bool MailSend(bool SMSstring EmailFrom string EmailTo string EmailSubject string EmailBodyref Exception parmExc) { MailMessage msg=null; try { msg = new MailMessage(EmailFrom EmailTo EmailSubject EmailBody); if (!SMS) { msg.IsBodyHtml = true; } SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(localhost); client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis; msg.EmailBody = http://localhost:3171/WebApplication1/frmResponse.aspx?TraxIterID=+ ds.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[3].ToString(); client.Send(msg); if (DebugMailSending) { StringBuilder sbMailSendDebug = new StringBuilder(); sbMailSendDebug.AppendFormat(EMail Sent => From={0};To={1};Subject={2};Body={3} EmailFrom EmailTo EmailSubject EmailBody); DebugMessage(sbMailSendDebug.ToString()); } parmExc = null; return true; } catch (Exception exc1) { parmExc = exc1; return false; } finally { DisposeIfNotNull(msg); } } // end MailSend

hey you have to build HTML mail by setting the IsBodyHTML to true. Here you go: public void sendmail(string v3 string v2 string v1) //replace the parameter or delete if needed { string smsg = Thank you for posting Article on our site your post is very important for us: ; smsg +=  Title of Post:  +   + v2 +  ; smsg +=  Description of Post:  + v3; smsg +=  ; smsg +=  Administrator ; //in above lines I'm building HTML body for mailing here you can use any standerd html tags MailMessage message = new MailMessage(); try { string ToEmailIDToSendEmail = getEmailAddressOfUser(); //i'm just receiving TO email address from SQL Server DB by calling function message.To.Add(new MailAddress(ToEmailIDToSendEmail)); //here you can directly use the TO mail message.From = new MailAddress(use the same address i.e. ur username that will be used below); message.Subject = your email subject will be here; message.Body = smsg; message.IsBodyHtml = true; //always set this to true for html based mail SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(); client.Port = 587; // I uses port 587 for gmail replace this if you needed client.Host = smtp.gmail.com; //replace the host i will be using gmail System.Net.NetworkCredential nc = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(senderemailid or say user name password-of-mail-id); client.EnableSsl = true; client.UseDefaultCredentials = false; client.Credentials = nc; client.Send(message); } catch { //do your catch job here; } } Hope this helps.

Hi You can match your code from the below: Look into Bold section. MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(); mail.To = me@mycompany.com; mail.From = you@yourcompany.com; mail.Subject = this is a test email.; mail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html; mail.Body = this is my test email body. this part is in bold ; SmtpMail.SmtpServer = localhost; //your real server goes here SmtpMail.Send( mail ); Did you used the mailformat option? mail format used class system System.Web.Mail.MailFormat Hope this will helpful for u. :)
